Compare text files stored as a cell view

netbug

Dear all,

In my library manager, each cell has two or more views that are pure text. These text views store DRC and LVS results. As the PDK changes, I have to compare each DRC/LVS for the current PDK version against the previous one.

I thought that one way to solve this could be done in a similar way to the unix command "diff". In first place, I should have a GUI where the users enter the 2 views that he/she want to compare. Now the problem starts here. How can I get the location of each view to be able to do the comparison ? After having the files, which is the best way to compare them ? Is it, then, possible to save the result into the library manager as a new view ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pedro
